Wallpaper - Greetings from White Lake - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from White Lake wallpaper brings the nostalgic charm of classic mid-century postcard art directly to your wall. Created by The Tichnor Brothers, the design features bold, three-dimensional block lettering spelling out White Lake, North Carolina, with each letter framing scenic vignettes of lakeside bathing, boating, wooden piers, and vintage amusements. Curved bands of warm orange, moss green, and sky blue sweep across the background, framed by a distinct screenprint-inspired texture. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure, offering an expressive accent for relaxed living spaces.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well as a focal point in a living room, games room, hallway, or a holiday cottage. Because the graphic composition relies on large-scale typography and detailed internal vignettes, we recommend giving it an uninterrupted feature wall where the full postcard layout can be enjoyed without tall furniture cutting across the lettering. In a dining space or informal open-plan room, positioning the mural along a main wall creates an immediate sense of warmth and retro Americana. The bright, sunny character of the illustration holds up well in naturally bright spaces, while warm evening lamps bring out the richer orange and deep blue tones in the print.

Styling it

When styling around such a bold graphic design, we like to keep surrounding pieces relatively grounded so the artwork remains the focal point:

• Pair the wallpaper with warm timber furniture, such as mid-century teak or light oak, which echoes the vintage resort aesthetic without feeling cluttered.
• Select upholstery and painted finishes in simple solid colours rather than competing prints, allowing the illustrated lettering to carry all the visual pattern in the room.
• Introduce classic industrial or mid-century lighting fixtures, such as matte black or warm brass pendants, to highlight the retro character of the print.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on lively primary and secondary tones, combining sky blue, warm lake blue, vibrant orange, leafy greens, and crisp white highlights. When planning adjacent walls and woodwork, we suggest pulling directly from these background shades. A soft warm off-white or muted cream on adjoining surfaces keeps the room feeling airy and lets the mural pop. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping feel, framing the wallpaper with a deep lake blue on the skirting boards or surrounding walls ties directly into the typography shadows and gives the entire room a cohesive look.
